Difficult struggles remain in mainland China, but the epidemic there, although very large, is no more complex than it is in other countries and the government is making great strides, said Mike Ryan, WHO's co-ordinator of the global effort to stop the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus from taking root. Oh good grief. Pure politically correct BS.
The problem in China is no more complex than in other countries? Gimme a break.
Guess Taiwan must be coming under control too. Or maybe Taiwan does not count (not a member of the WHO, ya know).
This is one of the stupidest things I have heard from the WHO. There must be a lot of political pressure right now, especially from China.

seeing how much you despise the Chinese, so I will say,
For what's it's worth, the PeoplesDaily reported today that Chinese medical researchers have discovered 2 SARS antibodies the IgG and the IgM which "may help immunizes people against SARs in the future"
I know, I know, you are going to say "BS"! the Ch**ks can't do anything, impossible......

The main lesson of SARS, which has made more than 7,800 people ill and killed 625 since it first emerged...625 deaths, Oh my! This is a real terror in the world today, we should all be panicing. BTW, can anyone express this a percentage of all deaths that normally occur yearly so we can see it in it's full magnitude (no scientific notation please)?
